And, yes, stealing campaign signs is a crime. But because campaign laws regulate that candidates cannot give out gifts or anything beyond “de minimis” value, a political lawn sign, by its very definition, has no value. Technically, according to the Minnesota sheriff’s department, I could be charged with misdemeanor theft or trespassing.A small yard sign costs $5 to $15. I bought mine via the McCain website, I have 5, they cost about $7 apiece. The bigger yard signs are much more expensive. This man, Busse, is a liar and an admitted thief.
How many signs has he taken dozens? -- he may have moved into major felony theft territory. I hope he does get arrested and fined, if not serve some time. Also dis-barred, if he is a lawyer.
sorta like accruing $5k in parking tickets.
